Santa "killer" Claus

With the holidays approaching (like a category five hurricane), we examine Santa Claus - the notorious serial killer.  Since a powerful hurricane is coming, we're off to get plywood sheets and some bottled water.  I hope they still have some.  Anyway, we have a look at the lyrics to 'Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town,' written by Bernie Taupin.



Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list,
Checking it twice;
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
...

The last part (excluded - there could be children reading) just gets worse and worse with Taupin writing about living on the farm again.  This time he writes about killing chickens and enslaving the population.  At least there's no talk this time of toads
